Add Starch pins

- [Instructor] Now one thing that can happen…when you're animating the ankles…is you can get some weird kind of bends in the legs.…So I'm going to show you how we can use the Starch mode…to fix that so that we're getting a more realistic bend.…So I'm just going to bend that one up there.…So to control the way that the leg bends,…we're going to use Starch Pins.…And you can access them up here…if you click and hold on the Puppet Pin Tool,…you can select Puppet Starch Tool.…And we're going to undo that bend.…Going to select our left leg.…Now I'm going to select the Puppet…so I can see where my points are.…

And then I'm just going to add a couple of points,…and as I hover over, you'll notice it shows me a mesh…so I can decide where to put my pins.…Now I'm going to start by just putting one here.…And I'll also put one here.…So I'm going to go back to the selection tool.…And if we have a look at that now,…if I select my ankle, and just bend it up,…you'll see that it is a lot better.…So it's just starching those areas there.…
